I just came across some older posts on small rock piles that hikers are calling ducks and was just so amazed at how ignorant people can be. Rather than trying to understand what these figures are, and why people build them, they just get offended that someone else has a different idea on how to enjoy the wilderness and knock them over, or speculate on how many spider homes were disrupted to gatheby mythumpa - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

Never underestimate the arrogance of the uneducated. They are NOT ducks, they are inuksuit. From Wikipedia: **** An inuksuk (plural inuksuit) [1] (from the Inuktitut: ᐃᓄᒃᓱᒃ, plural ᐃᓄᒃᓱᐃᑦ; alternatively inukshuk in English[2] or inukhuk in Inuinnaqtun[3]) is a stone landmark or cairn built by humans, used by the Inuit, Inupiat, Kalaallit, Yupik, and other peoples of the Arby mythumpa - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.
